2 Hoevens wrasses together ?

[JJIM]

I have two hoeven's wrasses that are both female juvenile stage with the smaller one moving faster towards the terminal male stage, but much smaller. I attempted to add them both to a new tank but the larger one pinned the other in a hidden obscure place. Is there a way make this work where they are more apt to pair up?

Thanks in advance for the help!

Doubtful it will work, at this point. If one is forcing the other into hiding, that typically doesn't end well.

I'd recommend removing one of them.
